Abstract
In this review, the authors summarize school counseling outcome resear ch published between 1988 and 1995. Gysbers and Henderson's (1994) com prehensive developmental guidance model served as the organizing model through which the status of empirical literature regarding school cou nseling is examined. Results indicated that research focused more on r emediation activities as compared to preventive interventions. This re view found tentative support far career planning, group counseling, so cial skill training activities, and peer counseling. Practical implica tions and future research direction are drawn from these conclusions.
